More photos y'all! Fireman boots how cute! Are those police boots in the photos? Very cute! I've seen cowboy boots done like this, and a cowboy boot turned into a bird house with an old licience plate bent into a roof shape on top. A simple hole was cut out of the leg part of the boot.

Fire Fighters and EMT's use the same type of boots. All Duty Gear :coolsun

I love the bird house Idea sounds so cool :thumbsup

Any Boot or shoe will do

Hey, aren't you suppose to wear out the shoe or boot first?

All of these look like perfectly normal shoes and those boots look like they could ride-out for another season or two.

I have boots that I have literally split across the soles and it takes an army to get me to stop wearing them. I bust through seams like my toes are trying to break free. I can warp the heel end until my spine sets wrong LOL.

I do think they look like great planters.

Actuall the chore boots are split across the soles and the black shoes came unglued at one of the heels I tried to reglue it but never stayed long. :tongue So Planters are their secound life :throw
